Confidence, Competence, Credibility

"I am writing this to give my highest possible recommendation for Maha Shahid. I've known Maha since July 2016 when she joined my laboratory as a Research Fellow. Within a year she had impressed me with her enthusiasm and interest towards her work. Maha is truly outstanding scientist with focus and interest in cutting-edge research, neuropharmacology in particular. She has supported the junior students in our lab and initiated the new research directions to apply the combination of in vitro and in vivo models to study the stroke and its intervention. Her work and dedication to science has brightened the other lab members. Maha is one of those people who impeccably makes everyone around them much better and productive, simply by being there for everyone and with her exceptional team spirit. Any mentor and laboratory in the world will be truly blessed to have a fellow and colleague like Maha."
